2. Online PMHNP programs...good idea?

   Ted D posted a topic in Psychiatric

   I am toying with the idea of starting a PMHNP program in another state that is online-based. Before I jump right in, I was hoping to gather a list of things that I should ask the school such as preceptorship arrangements.... This is all relatively ne...

   Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in Career Support

   I've heard that it is pretty competitive despite the low pay. I am thinking along those lines though! Any other ideas?

4. What are some nursing jobs that involve a lot of travel?

   Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in Career Support

   I would love something in the middle east or Caribbean. Not concerned too much about safety. How tough is it to get in to one of these positions? Do you know of any reputable hospitals or agencies? I only speak English, unfortunately...

   I don't have the 3 years in any one specialty that seems to be a requirement. Sadface

   Ted D posted a topic in Career Support

   I like the idea of being on the move. I love flying and don't mind all the hassle of going through airport security, checking in, etc. It seems like a consultant job would fit the bill, but can you guys think of any others?

11. accessing a port for just one blood draw

    Ted D posted a topic in General Nursing

12. How does heparinizing ports work?

    Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in Medications

    So the 500 units would just be injected into their blood stream each time it is accessed?

    So in that case when accessing you would prime the tubing with NS, but then attach an empty syringe and pull back 10ml?

14. How does heparinizing ports work?

    So most of the 5ml of heparin sits in the tubing and is removed along w/ the needle when you de-access, but then just a little bit sits in the port?

15. How does heparinizing ports work?

    Dumb nurse working a floor and I just am not clear on how heparinizing these things works. I never use them, but want to understand them. So when you de-access the port, right before you pull the needle w/ tubing out, you push a syringe of heparin in...
